Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to present the long-term results of the cut-closed-reconnected (CCR)-Roux procedure for reflux gastritis.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 14 patients with proven reflux gastritis and/or esophagitis who were treated at our institution with a CCR-Roux procedure between 1992 and 1997.

Results: The closure of the afferent loop in the CCR-Roux procedure is effective and permanent. The CCR-Roux patients did not need a rest gastrectomy. No signs of Roux stasis syndrome were seen. There was a consistent weight gain at 2 and 5 years of follow-up. These results permit a comparison with those of the Roux-Y procedure and other alternative procedures as well.

Conclusion: In the long run, the CCR-Roux procedure is effective in the treatment of reflux gastritis.
